[02:21.150]The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
[02:26.220]Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
[02:31.210]A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
[02:35.580]But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
[02:41.260]
[02:45.590]He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
[02:50.640]In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
[02:56.070]He's chained forever to a world that's departed
[03:00.480]It's not enough, it's not enough
[03:04.690]
[03:30.820]His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
[03:35.860]His knees have trembled & given way in the night
[03:40.430]His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
[03:45.900]His step has faltered
[03:49.760]
[03:56.020]One world, one soul
[04:05.460]Time pass, the river rolls
[04:15.520]
[05:15.420]And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
[05:20.570]And silent replies that swirl invitation
[05:24.900]Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
[05:30.490]A grim intimation of what is to be
[05:35.050]
[05:39.520]There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
[05:45.490]And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
[05:50.230]And silence that speaks so much louder than words,
[05:55.180]Of promises broken
[06:00.410]
